1st Test: Bumrah, Ashwin, Jadeja Lead India’s Fightback As England Trail By 18 Runs
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Jasprit Bumrah breathed life into the first Test with a masterly spell of reverse-swing while Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took a scalp each to lead India’s fightback as England trail by 18 runs after reaching 172/5 in 42 overs at tea on day three.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, India were pushed on the backfoot in the morning session by England’s attacking play. But post lunch, they bounced back with four big scalps to be right back at the top of the game in a fascinating session. For England, Ollie Pope holds the key by being 67 not out, his first Test fifty in India, with Ben Foakes giving him company on two not out.
The start of the second session saw Bumrah trap Ben Duckett lbw with an in-ducker, which if India have reviewed, would have given them a breakthrough. Pope continued his good work by taking two fours off Ashwin, followed by Duckett fetching two boundaries off Bumrah.
